Emperor Taihe immediately changed his mind: "Yes, she can't die yet."
Concubine Jiang looked at the palace maid huddled on the ground again and said, "Now, I'll give you one last chance. If you tell me who's behind this, I'll kill you.
Otherwise...when Luo Zheng returns safely to the capital with the miracle doctor and proves you're lying, I'll have him skin you alive with my own hands to serve as a warning to others!"
The palace maid was so frightened that she kept shaking and even her teeth were chattering.
"This slave...this slave will never...never tell a lie..."
The maid's voice was trembling, but she was unwilling to change her words.
Imperial Concubine Jiang pinched her palms tightly, looked coldly at the trembling palace maid lying on the ground, and finally said sarcastically: "Well, since you are determined to seek your own death, why should I save you? Drag you away."
The last sentence was naturally said to the other palace people.
Unexpectedly, when two palace servants grabbed the maid's arms and were about to drag her out, she suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Do you believe in this servant?
What this servant said is true! Luo Zheng didn't go to find the miracle doctor at all, he went to kill him!
He didn't want the imperial concubine to give birth to a prince, because only in this way would the imperial concubine always rely on him!
He won’t let the miracle doctor enter the capital alive! Your Majesty, you must be careful, wuwuwuwu——”
After she struggled and shouted frantically, she was finally exhausted and her mouth was blocked tightly.
Emperor Taihe was furious: "Hurry up and drag this slave out and beat her to death!"
The palace maid's face was as pale as paper, but the tension in her heart suddenly relaxed: she could finally be free.
"Wait!"
Imperial Concubine Jiang suddenly spoke up, then turned to Emperor Taihe and said, "Your Majesty, please spare this lowly servant's life for now.
I want to see if it is because I have misjudged people and mistakenly taken a jackal for a good dog.
Or is there someone hiding behind the scenes and deliberately plotting, using this lowly maid to frame and murder Luo Zheng!"
She looked into Emperor Taihe's eyes and said, "If Luo Zheng returns to the capital with the miracle doctor, I hope to hand this lowly servant over to Luo Zheng for his disposal."
Emperor Taihe frowned and asked, "What do you plan to do if he fails to bring the miracle doctor back to the capital?"
Imperial Concubine Jiang laughed at herself, "If he can't bring back the miracle doctor, it means he's incompetent. Even if I find out he has no ulterior motives, I won't use him again."
But if it is discovered that he colluded with spies from the enemy country and deliberately killed the genius doctor in order to prevent me from having an offspring.
I will naturally peel off his skin, cut out his heart and liver, and see what he is really like!"
"Okay, I promise you, I will do as my beloved concubine says."
Emperor Taihe said in a deep voice, then looked at the palace maid coldly and ordered, "Drag her away, don't let her die."
The palace maid trembled like a sieve. She wanted to say something, but her mouth was blocked tightly. She could only be dragged out in despair and helplessness.
When she was dragged out, she couldn't help but look at Emperor Taihe and Concubine Jiang.
The two men were dressed in gorgeous clothes. The man was handsome and pale, with a gloomy look in his eyes. The woman was charming and beautiful, nestled in the emperor's arms, a smile on her lips, but her eyes were colder than a knife.
The two men's gazes seemed to torture her to death, and the palace maid was so frightened that she trembled all over and even peed herself out of fear.
When she was dragged back to the prison, had her hands and feet tied, was gagged and thrown into the cell, she was completely terrified.
Screams could still be heard from all around, and fear overwhelmed her like a tide.
The palace maid burst into tears. The smiling face in her mind and the affectionate peach blossom eyes seemed to be gradually becoming blurred.
……
In a forest somewhere, a group of people were struggling to move forward.
One of them looked behind him from time to time, always on guard.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a short figure suddenly stumbled and was quickly pulled up by the people next to him.
The woman asked the child with concern: "How are you? Does it hurt? Did you get hurt?"
The child had tears in his eyes, but he shook his head: "Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine."
At this time, the person walking at the back suddenly said, "Those people didn't catch up with us. We must have successfully shaken them off. Let's take a break first, otherwise the child will be too young to endure it."
